  • Organic revenue for parts and services declined by 16.8% largely due to the COVID‐19 pandemic and stay at home

mandates across all three segments in Q2

  • North America organic revenue for parts and services declined by 22.5%; collision and auto liability claims were down

41.7% for the quarter(2); outperformance of claims trend attributable to share gains, mechanical part sales and self service parts and admissions

  • Europe organic revenue for parts and services declined by 16.6%; not all regions were impacted by the pandemic at the

same time and to the same degree, creating a different growth profile for each of our European businesses ‐ Germany and the Netherlands recovering at a faster rate, with the UK and Italy lagging

  • Unfavorable F/X impact on European parts and services revenue of $44 million; European constant currency parts and

services revenue declined 17.3%(3)

  • Specialty organic revenue declined by 1.4%; relative strength in a down economy due to solid demand for recreational

vehicle products and from drop shipment customers

  • Decrease in other revenue was primarily attributable to lower volumes and year over year prices of scrap steel. Scrap

steel prices were down 25% versus Q2 2019; and down sequentially by 16% versus Q1 2020. Decrease in other revenue was also attributable to a decrease in revenue from other scrap metals and fluids due to lower volumes.

 The Compensation Committee of LKQ’s board carefully considers the most effective ways to motivate and incentivize

management to accomplish specific strategic goals

 Objective, tailored metrics with challenging performance targets are chosen annually to align LKQ’s compensation

program with its strategic plan and effectively align the interests of management with shareholders  In 2019, selected Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin percentage and free cash flow as annual metrics to focus management on profitability and the optimization of cash flow  Furthermore in 2019, shifted 50% of the 3‐year incentive award from cash to performance based RSU. The metrics for the 3‐year incentive awards (both cash and equity) now include organic revenue growth, adjusted EPS and ROIC  No changes to the metrics for 2020 compensation plans

 The interests of each of LKQ’s current board members and executives are closely aligned with the shareholders.

Together, the LKQ directors and executive officers beneficially own more than 1,700,000 shares of LKQ common stock

 All of LKQ’s compensation plans are designed to create a pay‐for‐performance culture and grant a high percentage of

at‐risk compensation

40 The compensation program developed by the Compensation Committee is designed to drive shareholder value

LKQ's Management and Board are Executing on a Strategy That is Delivering Shareholder Value

  • COVID‐19 Pandemic Impact on Operations
  • Efforts by governments to flatten the infection curve had a negative impact on mobility and miles driven
  • Revenue impact through June 2020 has not been as significant as initially expected when first quarter results were

announced

  • Cost actions and cash management implemented to align with demand
  • No material disruptions to supply chain
  • Liquidity should be sufficient to support current operations
  • Sequential improvement in organic revenue from April through June
  • April organic parts and services revenue decreased 30.3% on a per day basis, improving to a decrease of 7.3% on a

per day basis in June

  • Implemented cost reduction actions resulting in sequential savings of approximately $162 million (down 18%) in Q2

compared to Q1 2020

  • Q2 2020 Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.39 vs. $0.48 (19% decrease): Q2 2020 Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) of

$0.53 vs. $0.65 (19% decrease)

  • Strong operating cash conversion; generated $718 million in operating cash flows in Q2 2020 (up 56%): free cash flow(2) of

$686 million (up 66%); $913 million in operating cash flows YTD 2020 (up 43%): free cash flow(2) of $836 million (up 56%)

  • Paid down $552 million in debt in Q2 and $782 million YTD; net leverage declined to 2.2x(3) EBITDA as of June 30
  • Amended our credit agreement to increase maximum permitted net leverage ratio which significantly reduced the risk of a

covenant breach

(1) Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non‐GAAP measure. Refer to Appendix 4 for Adjusted Diluted EPS reconciliation (2) Free Cash Flow is a non‐GAAP measure.

Appendix ‐ Non‐GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains non‐GAAP financial measures. Following are reconciliations of each non‐GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Appendix 1 ‐ Constant Currency Reconciliation

  • The following unaudited table reconciles revenue growth for Parts & Services to constant currency revenue growth for the

same measure:

We have presented the growth of our revenue on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non‐GAAP financial measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency revenue information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance, as this statistic removes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations, which are outside of our control and do not reflect our operational

  • performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating prior year revenue in local currency using the current year's

currency conversion rate. This non‐GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly‐named measures by

  • ther issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. In addition,

not all companies that report revenue growth on a constant currency basis calculate such measure in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly‐named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.

We have presented Segment EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our segment profit and loss and underlying trends in our ongoing operations. We calculate Segment EBITDA as EBITDA excluding restructuring and acquisition related expenses (which includes restructuring expenses recorded in Cost of goods sold), change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments or divestitures, equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries, and impairment charges. EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated as net income, less net income (loss) attributable to continuing and discontinued noncontrolling interest, excluding discontinued operations and discontinued noncontrolling interest, depreciation, amortization, interest (which includes gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and income tax expense. Our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, uses Segment EBITDA as the key measure of our segment profit or loss. We use Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among our segments and evaluate business strategies. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. We also consider Segment EBITDA to be a useful financial measure in evaluating our operating performance, as it provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties with supplemental information regarding the underlying trends in

expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated

Appendix 3 ‐ EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Reconciliation

We have presented EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our operating performance and the value of our business. We calculate EBITDA as net income, less net income (loss) attributable to continuing and discontinued noncontrolling interest, excluding discontinued operations and discontinued noncontrolling interest, depreciation, amortization, interest (which includes gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and income tax

  • expense. We believe EBITDA provides insight into our profitability trends and allows management and investors to analyze our operating

results with the impact of continuing noncontrolling interest and without the impact of discontinued noncontrolling interest, discontinued

  • perations, depreciation, amortization, interest (which includes gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and income tax expense. We

believe EBITDA is used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the operating performance and the value

Appendix 4 ‐ Reconciliation of Net Income and EPS to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations

We have presented Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations Attributable to LKQ Stockholders as we believe these measures are useful for evaluating the core operating performance of our continuing business across reporting periods and in analyzing our historical operating results. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations Attributable to LKQ Stockholders as Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share adjusted to eliminate the impact of continuing and discontinued noncontrolling interest, discontinued operations, restructuring and acquisition related expenses, amortization expense related to all acquired intangible assets, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments or divestitures, impairment charges, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock‐based payments and any tax effect of these adjustments. The tax effect of these adjustments is calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period or for certain discrete items the specific tax expense or benefit for the adjustment. Given the variability and volatility of the amount and frequency of costs related to acquisitions, management believes that these costs are not normal operating expenses and should be adjusted in our calculation of Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to LKQ Stockholders. Our adjustment of the amortization of all acquisition‐related intangible assets does not exclude the amortization of other assets, which represents expense that is directly attributable to ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjustment relating to amortization of acquisition‐related intangible assets supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance. The acquired intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. These financial measures are used by management in its decision making and overall evaluation

  • f our operating performance and are included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Adjusted

Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations Attributable to LKQ Stockholders should not be construed as alternatives to Net Income or Diluted Earnings per Share as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report measures similar to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations Attributable to LKQ Stockholders calculate such measures in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly‐named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.

(1) The sum of the individual components may not equal the total due to rounding

We have presented free cash flow solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our liquidity. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow provides insight into our liquidity and provides useful information to management and investors concerning our cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements, make strategic acquisitions and repurchase stock. We believe free cash flow is used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the liquidity of other companies, many of which present free cash flow when reporting their results. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report free cash flow information calculate free cash flow in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly‐named measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for liquidity relative to other companies.

We have presented adjusted gross margin solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate the operating performance of our continuing business across reporting periods and in analyzing our historical operating results. We calculate adjusted gross margin as gross margin plus restructuring expenses recorded in cost of goods sold. We believe adjusted gross margin provides insight into our operating performance and provides useful information to management and investors concerning our gross margins. We believe adjusted gross margin is used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the operating performance of other companies, many of which present adjusted gross margin when reporting their

  • results. Adjusted gross margin should not be construed as an alternative to gross margin, as determined in accordance with accounting

principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report adjusted gross margin information calculate adjusted gross margin in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly‐named measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.
